Loddiswell, Kingsbridge, TQ7 4RE

Kingsbridge is a market town in the South Hams district of Devon, England, with a population of 6,116 at the 2011 census. Two electoral wards bear the town’s name. The town’s railway history is notable: the Kingsbridge branch line, later known as the Primrose Line, opened in 1893 and closed in 1963. It ran 12 miles (19 km) from the Exeter to Plymouth line at Brent, following the route of the River Avon to Kingsbridge. A proposed extension to Salcombe was not constructed. The locality of Loddiswell, within Kingsbridge, therefore sits in a rural setting with a small-town atmosphere and a history tied to the Devon rail network. The town’s demographic size suggests a modest, community-focused environment for residents and visitors alike.
